“According to reports, the US Marines in Afghanistan use 800,000 gallons of gasoline per day. At $400 per gallon, that comes to a $320,000,000 daily fuel bill for the Marines alone. Only a country totally out of control would squander resources in this way. While the US government squanders $400 per gallon of gasoline in order to kill women and children in Afghanistan, many millions of Americans have lost their jobs and their homes and are experiencing the kind of misery that is the daily life of poor third world peoples. Americans are living in their cars and in public parks. America’s cities, towns, and states are suffering from the costs of economic dislocations and the reduction in tax revenues from the economy’s decline. Yet, Obama has sent more troops to Afghanistan, a country half way around the world that is not a threat to America. It costs $750,000 per year for each soldier we have in Afghanistan. The soldiers, who are at risk of life and limb, are paid a pittance, but all of the privatized services to the military are rolling in excess profits. One of the great frauds perpetuated on the American people was the privatization of services that the US military traditionally performed for itself. “Our” elected leaders could not resist any opportunity to create at taxpayers’ expense private wealth that could be recycled to politicians in campaign contributions.”

“Rats fed a diet of sausage, pound cake, bacon, cheesecake, and Ho Hos began to behave like rats addicted to heroin, consuming increasing amounts of food to feel satisfied and continuing to eat even when to do so meant that electric shocks were delivered to their tiny paws. When switched to healthful food (“the salad option”) the rats, which had become obese, their brains numbed by junk, simply refused to eat.”

Avmakt | Daily Meh

‘Avmakt is more the peculiar feeling of being part of a system you are powerless to direct or change, and knowing it. It’s not about being on the fringes of society or lacking in basic liberties or facilities, it’s rather about being stuck squarely inside the system, with various symbols and signs of wealth and nominal power, forced to watch how money, position and “democratic rights” still leave you powerless to change or direct the system. The feeling of being a cog in the machinery, of powerlessness in the face of the Man, of being unsure what exactly you want or how to achieve it or even if it can be achieved, but knowing that whatever it is you want it’s not the status quo. The feeling that the system humiliates you: it swallows you whole, it gives you a host of privileges and then forces you to watch as each of them prove to be worthless when it comes to effecting actual change. On top of that, you get to feel guilt ‘cause you’re part of the system after all and so infinitely better off than billions of other people in the world.’

Daily Meh as quoted by shadowfirebird: Whoa. Useful word.
